Ridiculous, the source this originally came from said they're just looking to cast the role and aren't worried about any of the other stuff. WTF?? When Charlie and Dakota were cast their only justification was their chemistry and just talked and talked about how important that is, and now they're saying it doesn't matter? How unprofessional is this team? They're ridiculous! They're retarded for even keeping Dakota Johnson on as Ana. She's awful.

Re: Liz – Exactly! I read that too and was shocked because they were all about how important the chemistry is and how it's more important than other things and they're going back on that now just because they don't want to take the time to recast BOTH roles and push the dates bak. Dakota cannot make someone have chemistry with her! This film is just going down the crapper so fast! As a fan of the books it upsets me. I will not be seeing this film, that is 100% for sure.

Hell Yes!! Bring on Jamie. He is fine. But htey have to replace Dakota. I mean I could not believe she could be Charlie's Ana before. But there is no way in hell Jaime would go for Dakota now. He is way too cute for her.

Re: Crowley – Ian Somerland wouldn't touch this piece of crap with a ten foot pole. Why do you think they are having a hard time casting? It is a shit story - it is bound to be the next Striptease which will turn any actor into a joke, just like Striptease did with Elizabeth Berkley.

Jamie Dornan is a great cast, he's not only hot, but a great actor, I loved him in Once Upon a Time, where he had great chemistry with both Jennifer Morrison and Ana Parrila, but also his BBC show "The Fall" is awesome, he plays a psychopath…totally dark, go and check his videos from The Fall. Dakota Johnson is a big problem for Fifty Shades, she's both not good looking and a lame actress. I think the studio should WORRY for HER PERFORMANCE a LOT MORE!

Jamie Dornan looks like a serial killer. And some may think he looks hot in pictures, but in movement he is not all that. He's too short and scrawny to play Christian anyway! I know they didn't follow the books when casting for Ana, but they could at least try to get something right!

Well, Jamie Dornan should be definitely CG, he has the looks, the confidence, the voice, the intense gaze. I saw his BBC show The fall, and let me tell you, he's not only a gorgeous face, he's so so good in that role as a dark psychopath, he can channel some of that darkness into CG role for sure, hopefully the cast director, sam taylor-johnson and EL james are considering him for real and this dont result to be just a rumor, cause he'll bring good stuff to the movie for sure.
All those sexy ads for CK has to pay off, he 's so confident and comfortable w/ his skin, and CG has exactly that, so yes yes he's perfect!

The biggest problem is still there… DAKOTA JOHNSON!! Charlie was fine, most of the dislike of casting was & still is directed at Dakota Johnson…No she is not growing on us, she is still a huge casting mistake… put her out to pasture already, she is not & never will be Ana, still not going to see the movie, still waiting for it to come out on TV so I can fast forward all the bits with Dakota in it!!!

I can definitely see Jaime as CG. Its Dakota that I have a huge problem with. For one she may be 23, but she looks 35. SO if you put her with any potential CG actor, she will always look weird, because she will always look too old for the actor chosen. They really need to just let her go. I mean I bet you there are others who would take this part. Who look more like a mid 20 year old than she does.
